Review Centre: World Music Ensembles

"Having met Shama and the 515 Crew at a couple of events I photographed over he last 2 years, it was without question that we would be using them whenever we had a family event. Last weekend, my brother and I threw our parents a surprise 65th birthday party and I was super excited to have secured a booking for this auspicious occasion with the 515 crew and they most certainly didn’t disappoint!!! They arrived promptly to setup and worked within the limited space we had at our venue without any complaints. I asked Shama if the group would be able to play a handful of my dads favourite songs from the 70’s and 80’s era including Santana, Wilson Picket and James Brown and although it was material that they hadn’t done before, they took time to rehearse in the week and surprised us with their amazing delivery on the main night. My dad and guests were over the moon! I’ve had nothing but positive comments from our guests on the 515 Crew’s super professional musical ability and singing. Their Indian songs took our guests back into time and found it refreshing to hear some of the old bollywood songs with a modern and current feel. I really cannot express how delighted myself, my parents and our guests are with the 515 Crew. I dealt with Shama from the initial phone call to check on the teams availability and she’s always been a pleasure to deal with including on the night itself. I most certainly will be using them when we have another event and will be recommending them to my clients too! I genuinly thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Kam Parmar (Kreative Klicks Photography)"

"Hi Shama, A massive thank you to you and your team… you were truly incredible and we’ve had nothing but positive feedback from all of our guests… THEY LOVED IT!!! Yours and chirag’s voices are beautiful to listen to!! And yes, Jessica was amazing. It was my dream for a while to have her perform at my wedding and I can’t believe we made that happen with the extra icing on top being you guys! We couldn’t have hoped for a better evening celebrating our wedding and that’s massively down to you smashing the entertainment. I hand on heart loved every second and so did our guests! It’s lovely to hear from your perspective that everything came together exactly as we hoped and planned over the last year and yes, we can’t wait for some downtime in Dubai! A place we love too. I’m sure many many of our guests would love to see you perform again. I’m pretty sure we found you some big fans yesterday Take care and lovely to meet you and speak with you. One of the best decisions we made."

"Well what can I say. It was perfect. The three guys were the perfect start to a 40th birthday party celebration (that ended at 4am!? They were friendly and professional plus excellent musicians pitching the right music at the right time ending the sets with the party on their feet dancing. Would like to thank them for making the day a special one that everyone enjoyed fully. Kindest Regards"

"We booked Edina to play for the drinks immediately after our wedding service, on 9th July 2016. We had heard and enjoyed her YouTube videos, and went to see her play in a bar in Brixton. She has an excellent range of styles of music, and was able to include some film music we love, and some Spanish tunes for Marta's Spanish relatives to enjoy. After the wedding, many friends commented they'd enjoyed her playing - excellent soundtrack for a beautiful summer day, both enjoyable for those who wanted to listen, but also unobtrusive for those who were chatting to friends. We'd also add that she's very organised and efficient, making the booking process simple, and she contacted us a few days before the wedding to reassure us that everything was in order and confirming her arrival time (which of course she kept to!) We'd happily encourage anyone looking for great music and no hassle to book her for their event!"

"The evening for our community BBQ was cool and cloudy but Gary's warm personality and the amazing variety of his caribbean steel band music brought a really sunny atmosphere to the event and put a smile on everyone's face! Just brilliant! Thanks so much Gary."

"The birthday party was absolutely a success and this is also thanks to the band and Ciro's fantastic energy. Hit after hit, her vocal range and stage presence "chained" us to the dance floor and made us dance for the rest of the evening. Highly recommended if you are looking for high-quality entertainment for your next party!"

"Eleonora is a lady who has a stunning voice of an angel that can melt the coldest of hearts. Her sexy and sultry voice mixed with her beautiful Italian style and looks, make this girl a true winner. She's had her songs played regularly on UK radio, and have become favourites with listeners. She has a warm, endearing personality that people just love."
